Secretary General of the Gerindra Party Ahmad Muzani dismissed the assumption that the Secretary General of PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, said that Paslon number 2 Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka had serious problems after the decision of the Honorary Council for Election Organizers (DKPP). Muzani emphasized that the registration of Prabowo-Gibran as a presidential candidate pair and vice presidential candidate was valid. Because the KPU received registration based on the results of the Constitutional Court's (MK) decision that Gibran could run for vice president because he had served as mayor. "In my opinion, it is not serious, because the decision is based on the Constitutional Court's decision. Where the Constitutional Court's decision is made possible. As soon as the Constitutional Court's decision is final and binding," said Muzani at the TKN Media Center, South Jakarta, Monday, February 5. Based on the Constitutional Court's decision, according to Muzani, the KPU Law and decision which states that a presidential and vice presidential candidate has at least 40 years died by itself. Therefore, he emphasized, there is nothing wrong with the KPU's action to accept Prabowo-Gibran's registration. "The law has just fallen, let alone the KPU regulations, something like that. So that is the KPU's action to accept the registration of presidential candidates Prabowo Subianto and vice president Gibran Rakabuming Raka is a correct and legitimate act," he said. Previously, the Secretary General of PDIP, Hasto Kristiyanto, said that the issue of ethical violations was a burden for the 2024 General Election. It is known that the DKPP imposed ethical sanctions on the Chairman of the KPU Hasyim Asy'ari et al. "The decision cannot be taken lightly because ethical violations are very, very serious and this also shows that from the start, when there was manipulation at the Constitutional Court, it had become a burden for future elections," said Harsto at a press conference at the PDIP DPP Office, Menteng, Central Jakarta, Monday, February 5. Hasto then mentioned the vice presidential candidate who has a direct relationship with the president. He said this caused many problems for Paslon number 2.

"Moreover, it was accompanied, because this is the first time that a candidate has become a vice presidential candidate, he still has direct affiliation with the national leadership, in that case President Jokowi. So that in practice there are so many problems, and the decision from the DKPP becomes legality and legitimacy that the determination of the pair 02 does have a serious problem," he said.
